### How to integrate Sysdig Monitor with Squadcast
### In Squadcast: Using Sysdig Monitor as an Alert Source
1. Navigate to **Services** -> **Service Overview** -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click **Add**.
2\. Select **Sysdig Monitor.** Copy the displayed **Webhook URL** to [configure](#in-sysdig-monitor-add-a-notification-channel-for-squadcast) it within **Sysdig Monitor.** Finish by clicking **Add Alert Source** -> **Done.**
{% hint style="warning" %} **Important****:**
When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources. You can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source.\
\
An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
{% endhint %}
### In Sysdig Monitor: Add a Notification Channel for Squadcast
{% hint style="info" %} **Note****:**
You can add a Notification Channel in Sysdig Monitor only if your user has the right permissions. More information on this is available [here](https://docs.sysdig.com/en/set-up-notification-channels.html).
{% endhint %}
1. Click on your username in the bottom left corner and select **Settings**
2. Select **Notification Channels** from the sidebar
3. Select **Add Notification Channel** and select **Webhook**
4. To create a *Squadcast Webhook Notification Channel*:
* **URL:** Paste the previously copied Webhook URL from Squadcast
* **Channel Name:** Give the Channel a meaningful Name
* **Enabled:** Toggle **on**
* **Notify when Resolved:** Toggle **on**
* **Notify when Acknowledged:** Toggle **off**
* **Test notification:** Toggle **on**
* Click **Save** to save the Squadcast Webhook Notification Channel
5. Verify that the Webhook that you added is visible in **Notification Channels** and is **Enabled**
{% hint style="info" %} **Note****:**
When you **save** the Webhook, a **test alert** is sent to Squadcast for which Squadcast creates a **test incident**. This will verify that the Webhook is working as expected.
{% endhint %}
That is it, you are now good to go!
* Now whenever an alert is triggered in Sysdig Monitor, an incident will be created for it in Squadcast.
* Once the alert(s) that triggered the incident(s) are resolved in Sysdig Monitor, the corresponding Squadcast incidents would get resolved automatically.
*Have any questions?* [*Ask the community*](https://community.squadcast.com/view/home)*.*
